An opening date for a new homeware store in Horsham town centre has been officially announced.

Danish brand Søstrene Grene will open at Bishops Weald House off West Street on Friday November 22 – and customers are being promised ‘exciting giveaways.’

The retailer has more than 300 shops in 17 countries but the new Horsham store will be the company’s first in West Sussex.

And the first 100 customers through the doors of the Horsham shop next week will receive a voucher for a large, tufted rug worth over £60 and a canvas tote bag with goodies. Light refreshments will also be on offer along with special live performances.

Søstrene Grene says it offers Scandi-inspired items at budget-friendly prices, including interiors, craft and hobby items, children’s toys, accessories and lifestyle products.

A spokesperson said: “As the festive period approaches however, the brand will see its stores turned into a Christmas wonderland with everything you’ll need to prepare for decorating, gift wrapping, last-minute stocking fillers and hosting friends and family.”

Søstrene Grene co-owner and chief executive Mikkel Grene added: “We’re excited to bring Søstrene Grene to Horsham, giving customers the chance to explore our wide selection of high-quality, affordable products. Every visit is an opportunity to discover unique, beautifully crafted items designed to spark joy and inspire creativity.”

UK joint venture partners Norma Jacob and Richard Power run existing Søstrene Grene stores across Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland and the south of England. Norma said: “Horsham is a brilliant historic market town and the ideal spot for our brand.”
